Steps for being an ally to #BlackLivesMatter

The murders of black men, women and children at the hands of police is a tragedy plaguing this country. This is a crucial time to discuss systemic racism, police violence and how we, as communities of color, can come together to support and listen to the black community. So what can we do as allies?

Remember that language is important. Understand the problems with using "All Lives Matter" and "Blue Lives Matter." No one is saying that other lives don’t matter, and no one is saying that black lives matter more. What is being said is that the black community at this time is facing particular perils that must be addressed.
